Leah started playing Jaguars at the age of 14. Though she started playing at an older age than most, she quickly developed a love and passion for the sport. From then on, she played volleyball year-round. She continued to play Jaguars from 2018 to 2022. When the Jaguars were off-season, she played pickup with her sisters or played in Garner. She also played two seasons of 18U club. No matter how much fun she had on her other teams, the Jaguars were her home. After she graduated, Leah coached as a middle school assistant and returned this season to coach as head. Her goal as a Jaguars coach is to guide the players through the same lessons, experiences, and friendships she got to have for all those years. When she’s not playing or coaching volleyball, Leah works as a barista in a local coffee shop and takes classes at Wake Tech. Her plan is to transfer to a university and become a graphic designer.

My name is Brian Davis, I am entering my second season with the Jaguars, this year extending my duties to include not only JV head coach but Varsity as well. In addition to coaching with the jaguars, I also coach club/travel volleyball and have been doing so for 10years. In that time, I have been able to coach one of my daughters and share the sideline with them both. Through the years I have been fortunate enough to coach some really talented  players. Our teams have won numerous local, regional, state and AAU national qualifying tournaments. I am currently the Head coach for the JoCo 14 Black National team. My coaching philosophy is “Be Extraordinary at the Ordinary”. We put a lot of emphasis on mastering the routine . In my opinion , Volleyball is the ultimate team sport where energy, disciplined effort and focus can lead to a lot of success. I look forward to working with your daughters and enhancing not only their skill but their love for the game.

I’ve been an integral part of the Jaguars volleyball program for the past five seasons, first as a player parent and now entering my second preseason and regular season as an assistant coach. I bring more than 20 years of coaching experience, along with a wealth of knowledge, leadership, and a passion for developing athletes. Throughout my coaching career, I’ve had the opportunity to coach multiple sports at a high level, earning the respect of players, parents, through my commitment to player development both on and off the court. I’m excited to continue my journey with the Jaguars and apply my experience, knowledge, and passion to help our athletes grow, compete with confidence, and contribute to the continued success of the Jaguars volleyball program.

Hello, my name is Lydia Guy, and I am 24 years old. I am currently a second-grade teacher with a deep passion for working with and educating young children.

I began playing volleyball at the age of 12 and continued throughout middle and high school. I started out as a defensive player and quickly developed a love for the game—particularly the thrill of diving and turning the momentum in favor of my team. What started as an extracurricular activity soon grew into a true passion.

Volleyball has taught me countless life lessons that continue to shape who I am today. It has also introduced me to lifelong friendships that have had a meaningful and lasting impact on my life.

She also played with various club teams during the off seasons including NCYVL, Triangle Volleyball Club , and Wilson Elite where she was again coached by Lindsey Sutton.

Abbey is attending ECU and plans to become a Highschool teacher and volleyball coach. Her love for nurturing young talent and desire to encourage and inspire young athletes is what has led her to coaching.
